Regine Velasquez is the ‘Poor Señorita’

Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid will fill homes with laughter every weeknight beginning tomorrow, as she returns to acting and the primetime block with GMA Network’s Poor Señorita.

Known to draw in viewers not just to concert venues but the cinema and television as well, the blockbuster star is excited to take on another romantic-comedy, which she describes is aimed for the whole family.

Poor Señorita revolves around a lady named Rita Villon (Regine) who is an heiress and a successful owner of a perfume company. She is obsessive-compulsive and a perfectionist who is feared by all her employees. She has never had a boyfriend nor shows any interest in men, but deep inside she longs for love and connection.

Indeed, the singer-actress needs to pay close attention to acting nuances for the material especially because she will have to shift from being a millionaire to someone who loses all her money. As she goes about her way to regain everything she lost, she stumbles upon five street children who will help her get back on her feet. And along the journey, Rita develops affection for the children who will teach her the true value of happiness, and will also fall in love. With no less than hunky actor Mikael Daez as her leading man.

Given a challenging role, albeit in a romantic comedy, Regine confessed, “I’m very happy to be working on a series again but I’m also feeling a little nervous kasi I haven’t done this in a while.”
